With my next project only 2 months away, I soon have to order my next cam. Probably the HVX.
I followed all the threads complaining about bad low-light sensivity and noi..., ahem, grain :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG) and that it is a non-issue when having adequate lighting. That's good to hear.
My next movie is going to be extremely low-key. Less important parts of the image will go almost black - on purpose. Having enough light for the important parts is no problem at all, I could easily put the gain to a negative value if this would get me somewhere.
Question: What do you guys think would happen to very dark areas of my image (remember, I'd even use negative gain ). Would these areas still "suffer" from, uhm, irregularities (<-afraid of saying the n-word)? If yes, why? Is it impossible to get rich, black areas without nnnnnnoiiiassssmmmnn**!!??$$ with the HVX? Is the HVX a high-key-only camera?
[I]BTW: For all Germ(an)s: Heisinger Heicom is offering the HVX for 4999 Euros plus tax! Great price... See current "Kameramann"-issue. It's a one-man company but he's a nice guy. I bought my DVX from him.
